X-Treme Camp

Children Ages 10-15

Older children enjoy a full day of outdoor activities during X-treme Camp. This summer, we’re adventuring in and out of the county as we enjoy activities like cave exploration, orienteering, and more.

Camp will be held select Wednesdays in the summer. Campers should meet at Rock Springs Nature Center at the designated time. Bring a sack lunch. A fee of $35/camper for in-county camps or $60/camper for out-of-county camps covers all activities. Pick and choose which weeks to attend, or join us for all of them.

Space is limited to 12 campers each week and camp activities are subject to change.
